1957 Ford Fairlane Club Victoria 2-Door Hardtop finished in classic Colonial White and bright red. This is a beautifully restored, highly detailed example of one of Ford’s most iconic 1950s body styles, showing the unmistakable jet-age styling that made the ’57 Fairlane a standout of the era. According to documentation from the owner, the car underwent a complete frame-on restoration in 2003 and has reportedly been garage-kept and carefully maintained since completion. The restoration still presents extremely well today with excellent overall fit, finish, chrome, stainless, and interior presentation.
Power comes from a rebuilt 312 cubic-inch Thunderbird V8 paired to a rebuilt automatic transmission. The engine bay presents cleanly and the car has been upgraded with several tasteful drivability improvements including electronic ignition, electric fuel pump, Summit Racing carburetor, 60 lb. oil pump, front disc brakes, and a hot rod brake booster. The seller states the car has been driven less than 500 miles per year since restoration and serviced annually. A new battery was installed in April of 2026.
The exterior is exceptionally eye-catching with its dramatic two-tone paint scheme, sweeping side trim, chrome bumpers, and iconic tailfins. The polished stainless trim and gold anodized side accents show beautifully and complement the period-correct styling perfectly. The body appears straight with excellent overall curb appeal and the car sits properly on 15-inch chrome wheels wrapped in raised white letter radial tires for a subtle hot rod look without taking away from the classic character of the car.
Inside, the red and white interior is one of the highlights of the vehicle. The upholstery, door panels, carpeting, dash, and trim all present very nicely and capture the bold styling that defined late-1950s American automobiles. The spacious cabin is clean, comfortable, and highly detailed throughout. Additional features include a retro-style radio/CD changer setup for improved cruising enjoyment while maintaining a largely stock appearance.
